Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Tell Nabu what you want to learn (a job interview, a trip to Madrid, the DELE B2 exam, anything) and your level. Nabu builds a personal curriculum around your goal and you start your first lesson in minutes. Sign up with email or Google. No credit card required.

Question 2

Can I really learn what I want?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell Nabu the topic (your job, your trip, your hobby, your exam, an industry), and the platform builds the lessons, vocabulary, and practice scenarios around it. As you progress, your curriculum keeps adapting to your strengths and gaps. You can have multiple curricula running at once: one for work, one for travel, one for an exam.

Question 3

What makes Hello Nabu different from Duolingo, Babbel, or Busuu?

Accepted Answer

Hello Nabu is the only free language platform that combines a custom curriculum, an AI tutor with real-time speech feedback, and CEFR-aligned progression A1 to C2. Most apps (Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, Rosetta Stone) teach the same content to every learner with little or no real conversation practice. Hello Nabu flips that: you bring your goal (a job interview, a trip, an exam), Nabu builds the curriculum and the practice conversations around it. Internal data shows learners reach conversational fluency two to three times faster, with a >93% course completion rate vs the 5-10% industry average for corporate L&D.

Question 4

How do I track my progress?

Accepted Answer

Your dashboard tracks four skills (vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking), with badges and milestones aligned to the European CEFR standard's six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). On average, learners gain +2 CEFR levels in 6 months. You see exactly which words you've mastered, which need review, and how close you are to the next level. The progress is real and recognized, so you can walk into a job interview, an exam, or an embassy with proof of your level.

Question 5

Do you offer plans for companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hello Nabu serves businesses, schools, and universities with role-based curricula (sales, ops, healthcare, hospitality, construction, energy, +9 more), an admin dashboard with cohort-level CEFR progress, SSO integrations (Okta, Azure AD), and bulk licensing. The platform supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and many more languages, with additional languages available for enterprise programmes.
